Dying Inside to Hold You

He thought the past was gone for good...

Jelo wakes up every day carrying the weight of a love he once let go. The regret never fades-and neither does the memory.

But one ordinary morning, in a familiar café, something impossible happens.

A familiar face.
A name he never forgot.
A moment that feels like fate-or a cruel trick.

What would you do if the one person you lost...
stood right in front of you,
and looked at you like a stranger?

"And I was dying inside to hold you..."
